Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is a banger of an expansion—a return to the densely-packed worlds of Dark Souls yore, rammed with new and deadly weapons, and saddled with a final boss so unrelentingly hard it started a whole new difficulty discourse before, naturally, getting demolished by the unbeatable dodge gods of the gaming public.
Double Fine Productions recently dropped an epilogue episode to its sweeping 33-part documentary series PsychoOdyssey, which broke down the turbulent development of Psychonauts 2, and it left some hints about the studio's next few projects.
is a dark game. It takes place in a land torn apart by war and riddled with cursed monstrosities, where players must fight tooth and nail to gain ground and get closer to their goals. Everything, from the red swamps of Caelid to the disgusting designs of bosses like Rykard, reflects the idea that this world is dying, rotting away in the aftermath of a massive conflict.
Dating sims have let you date swords and pigeons and Colonel Sanders from KFC, but the dating sim-gularity had yet approached—only now we are arrived. Upcoming dating sim Date Everything will feature 100 fully-voiced household objects to romance, befriend, or even become enemies with. This is all thanks to a pair of magic glasses that let your character interact with the things in their home as if they were people.
In what is surely the apex of both Baldur's Gate 3 modding and my news writing career, a creator named Estgamers has developed the foulest fanmade BG3 spell yet: the foul hex of Testicular Torsion (warning: that link may not be work-safe depending on how cool your work is with both the concept of testicular torsion and medical diagrams of it in action).
As we've continued developing AI to boldly go where nobody has gone before and where many of us never wanted to go in the first place, we regular folk have had plenty of concerns. Whether it's the potential for AI job takeovers or deepfake misinformation, there's plenty to worry about. However, one concern that's not been discussed so much is the risk of an AI monopoly. Thankfully, the US, UK, and EU are on the ball enough to see this risk and are now coming together to prevent it.
When it comes to real-world meatspace collaborations with Final Fantasy 14, the UK (and to an extent, Europe) usually gets left out while Japan and the States get to party with the likes of KFC, Mountain Dew, and GrubHub. I've led a sad, Mountain Zu and /eatchicken-less existence, but now Square Enix has finally tossed us English folk a bone with its latest collaboration.
After more than 10 years of game journalism, one of my favorite parts of this job is seeing all the ridiculous challenges that gamers think up and pursue for no particular reason, from 1,700-hour speedruns to absurd game-breaking corner cases in Baldur's Gate 3. Timeless MMO Old School RuneScape remains a premier source of this sort of behavior, as evidenced by one player who recently spent a week needlessly killing 16,000 chickens by hand just to prove a point.
